HOW this couple built a COMPLETELY SUSTAINABLE ECO-VILLAGE?- Ayampe Ecuador

Have you ever lived in a tree-house? We have :)
WHO WE ARE?
We're Chris and Laura, a Canadian and Australian who in 2019 sold everything to travel the world! We visited over 14 countries across 3 continents and we now find ourselves back in Melbourne post lockdowns! We've just retuned from a month on the road trying our hand at #vanlife​ in South Australia and we're now back home preparing for our next road trip within South Australia
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sustainability was the theme for this weeks adventure, where we stayed in the Ecuadorian Jungle in the incredible Wild Child Village only 10 minutes from the coast
.
With tourism becoming ever more popular, sustainability for our planet and our future is key. Brett & Kylie, Wild Child's owners have made it their mission to make their way of life, and those that visit, as sustainable and eco-friendly as they can. Through introducing
1. Plant based meals
2. Reducing water use by using composting toilets
3. Sustainable vegetable & fruit gardens
4. Cutting out significant amounts of electricity consumption
We are so grateful to everyone at Wild Child, especially Brett & Kylie for welcoming us into their home and treating us like family.
If you find yourself in Ecuador, be sure to hit up these guys for one of their many yoga & meditation retreats, or just pop into say hello :)
Love,
Chris & Laura

Hello, Good to see young people putting their money and time in something to better their lives as well as lives of others. Am 65 year old black woman and hoping to move to a place where food is naturally organic. Am friendly and mind my own business and am able to help plant trees for the future generation. What am getting to is do you accept blacks in your community? Would love to here from you. Was diagnosed with gastritis. A stomach disorder I think from eating American food. Would love to here from you. Cheers!
